Biography

Perth’s premier New Year’s Day party returns with supreme style for its 9th instalment, this time whisking you away for a luxurious summer’s day at the legendary Palm Springs.

More sophisticated than Las Vegas and far more charming than Los Angeles, Palm Springs is an oasis for those who seek the finer things in life. The beautiful celebrities and socialites who call it their playground spend their days lazily lounging by the pool, basking in the glorious sunshine while sipping their favourite summer cocktails. The high wall estates, countless Cadillacs and sprawling green golf courses make it an idyllic paradise for those who want nothing more than to indulge in luxury. An eden where the air is crisp and the skies are clear, think of Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous flair and the swank iconic style of Frank Sinatra. A time in style when men paired their polo shirts with fedora’s while the ladies smile jovially in a light flowing summer dress.

With fresh exquisite gourmet food options inspired by the sunny state of California, it’s time to grab your glass of Pimms and lounge around the pristine riverside of the Perth Flying Squadron Yacht Club in Dalkeith. Cuban Club is bringing back the glamour era of Palm Springs, where we feast like legendary movie stars and drink the finest beverages fit for a Ratpack king. Boasting an entertainment lineup that will get you moving ‘till the sun goes down, the jewel of the desert is the place to be this New Year’s Day.

Headlining Artist (more acts TBA)

GRANDMASTER FLASH

Grandmaster Flash is a name that needs no introduction. He is the founding member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the first hip hop group ever to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Flash is the only DJ to ever receive that honor. The group’s reputation grew up around the way they traded off and blended their lyrics with Flash’s unrivaled skills as a DJ and his acrobatic performances—spinning and cutting vinyl with his fingers, toes, elbows, and any object at hand. The group went platinum with their single, “The Message” and the single “The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel” introduced DJing to a larger listening audience than it had ever known before. The group’s fame continued to grow with hits such as “Superappin”, “Freedom”,“Larry’s Dance Theme” and “You Know What Time It Is”. Although Flash has been in the business for many years, he shows no sign of slowing down.

SASKWATCH

Things just keep coming for Saskwatch. 2013 saw the band share a stage with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, perform to rapturous reception at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest, receive invitations to BlackisBack festival in Spain as well as the world’s biggest music festival, Glastonbury. If you haven’t heard their music or experienced them in the flesh, chances are you will soon. This is one band that won’t be content until they’ve taken their infectious, powerful brand of music to all the corners of the world – and so far, the world is willing.

With influences ranging from the Beastie Boys to Bruce Willis, Sampology AV shows, DJ sets, mixes and original productions are unexpected and always ready to entertain.

CHARLIE BUCKET & RAASHAN AHMAD
